Today's episode of Ishqbaaz starts with Shivay(Nakuul Mehta) firing the florist and asking them to remove all the lilies from the decoration around in the Oberoi house.

He says that he does not want to see any of the flowers around at the earliest. He also shouts at Khanna asking him to be sure of no lilies in the house. Khanna walks away, and Anika(Surbhi Chandna) happily walks in.

Anika teases Shivay over being so concerned about her allergy. Shivay is flustered as he says that he would have done it for anyone. Anika is still hell-bent on proving herself and getting Shivay to say that he cares for her.

Om and Gauri plot on getting Shivay and Anika back together. They have chutku in the box. Gauri tells Om all about Chutku. Now they see Shiavy and Anika walking up from the opposite directions.

They throw chutku on Anika and run. Anika starts screaming her heart out as chutku is a cockroach. Anika yells for help and climbs a table. Shivay starts screaming as well and calls for security as he confesses that he is scared of all kinds of living things except humans.(Also Read: Anika Calls Off Her Wedding With Nikhil And Challenges Shivay to Accept His Love For Her)

Finally though as no one take the initiative to help Anika, Shivay climbs up the table and takes the cockroach in his hand. Soon though he faints too. Now Anika panics as she apologises that she just wanted him to just confess his care and not faint.

Shivay wakes up and says he knew the chutku plan and chides Anika for stooping so low just to prove her point. Later Priyanka gets some jewellery from Jahnvi who asks her to keep them in the safe room.

Priyanka is walking to the room when she gets Rudra's call. She hands over the boxes to Anika and asks her to put them in the safe room. She also tells Anika that the room locks by itself, so she needs to be careful that she puts the stopper on while entering.

Shivay asks Tej if he will stay on in the house from now. Tej says that after what Shakti did he has not been able to face the world and so he keeps away from the country. He also indirectly tells Shivay that he hopes Shivay will not turn out to be like Shakti.

Shivay relives the pain of his parents' death as he walks out. Anika is putting the boxes in the safe room when the stopper lifts and the room closes. She starts getting suffocated inside.

Om and Gauri start searching around for Anika. They ask Shivya who also starts calling her. Finally, Shivay tries the safe room and finds her unconscious there. They take her to the room and tend to her.

Once she comes to senses, Shivay scolds Anika for taking this too far and says that he will never do what she wants. Anika sadly walks away. Priyanka who has heard the conversation tells Shivay about how she had sent Anika there, and it was not Anika's mistake.

Shivay now feels guilty. He finds Anika by the poolside and asks her to forgive him and when she does not talk he tells her she can punish him but not stop talking.

Anika finds this as an opportunity and demands that Shivay should apply haldi to her and also confess that he does care. Shivay tells her that this is not happening and she has two hands which she can put to good use.
